Pretty much an iron law that the more unjustified a military campaign is on rational grounds, the more the aggressors will cite God's sanction. Leaders don't need to tell soldiers they're in a holy war when the nation is under attack; they do it when motivation to fight might otherwise be lacking.

Months ago, we bombed Iran
& "obliterated" their nuke capabilities.
And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran
bc of their nuke capabilities."

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

The Department of War has been hosting monthly Christian worship services in the Pentagon, and this month’s was led by Christian nationalist pastor, Doug Wilson. This man supports repealing women's right to vote, amongst other extreme views. His voice preaching to our leaders is highly alarming.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

This event is not an innocent prayer breakfast seeking to unite people. It’s a Christian nationalist celebration of division, power, and propaganda.

Houses of worship are either protected spaces or they’re not. If the protestors that went into a MN congregation yesterday are committing a crime by going in and disrupting services, then so are ICE agents.

Fascism is here. The administration is sending MORE troops into Minneapolis, attempting to beat citizens into submission through fear and intimidation.

As Christians, we are called to step into the courageous leadership of Jesus in a time when the most vulnerable around us are being terrorized.

This is Renee Good.

She was a mother of a six-year-old child.

She was an American citizen.

She described herself as a β€œpoet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”

And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

The inevitable has happened. After months of state-sanctioned violence carried out in our communities at the hands of ICE officers, an officer has shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.

Already, DHS is attempting to spin the story. But we are not disillusioned.

This rhetoric isn’t normal and we can’t let it become normal, no matter who is spewing the words. Placing religion alongside statehood is a five alarm fire, especially in a country that was so intentional about separating the two.
